It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

An affortable, decent quality CM HHKB would make me forgive, move on and make me want to buy another CM product.
Something I told myself I'd never do again.

An affordable TKL conventional layout CM Topre board (e.g. the insanely popular QFR/QFS, of which I have two) would be great!

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Hey Carter, do you have any more Novatouch TKL news and videos to share? Is the branding going to be more subtle above the cursor keys like CM Stealth?

I don't understand the desire to produce hybrid switches when there is a large (and growing) user base for standard topre boards.

CM is in a position to own this corner of the market now that other manufacturers are leaving.

I could understand your point if these weren't compatible with standard Topre keycaps but seeing as this supports both Topre and MX I don't see how it could hurt them.

One just needs to look at the number of options available for replacement MX keycaps compared to the dwindling supply of Topre ones to understand the appeal of hybrid switches.

Wait, they take both Topre and MX caps? I thought they were just Topre switches that used MX caps instead of Topre ones.

Damn, this just gets better and better. I want these stems all over my RF. As long as they aren't wobbly compared to the stock ones that is.
